Responding to Jsae i've heard of this being done with dish soap, but not bar soap.

if you can get it right the bar soap method (and dish soap as well) do work moderately... used to do that to the visor on my motorcycle helmet. the commercial anti fog available at many shops (motorcycle/airsoft/paintball) tend to work better in my opinion... still airflow works best

The best way to deal with this, hands down here on the Wet Coast (West of the coastal mountains) is with fans period. You can have the latest Hi-tech formula on the lens that will not allow the moisture to stick to your lens it will still be in the mask splashing back up on the lens as you move about. It drops back to the bottom of the mask distorting your vision ever so slightly. so if you can't evac or push the moisture away from the lens, you are in the some leaky boat. :? I have seen some guys cut there goggle masks open more than the factory spec. hoping to help vent the moisture away.
If the opening is larger than 5mm that mask is now not aloud on the field. Besides you are asking for trouble EYEBALLS don't grow back. As a FM I have asked guys to get a different set of goggles to play with if they were planning on playing that day (I lent them a pair). If you are a slow moving type player that dosn't dress like you are heading for the North Pole then a pair of Double lens goggles will most likely work for you, as long as you have good allowable ventalation you will be good to Go.

If anyone is running with the ESS, Revision, Smith Optical (OTW) or any of the low-profile blalistic goggles in the same classification I have fans kit that will fit and fix this situation as well as regular kits for paintball goggles too.. If you are running Sealed shooting glasses Dice has a sweet little set up you will want to check it out it works well.

Prototype one.
Large single fan.

Prototype two has two small fans over each eyeball.
Because of sweat on the forehead this actually has an air-conditioning effect.

Note: most people can see the fans on prototype two. It also has a switch.

Anyone interested in making one drop by and see it on the field.

Just saw this! lol

That might work, the hose looks like it would just fall out the way they have it on the dummy, but I'm sure you could connect it to the goggles in a way that it wouldn't.

SON OF A BITCH BUSHMAN, they have stolen our product and design. I thought you filed the PATTEN on that!!!!

HOTSAUSE can attest to wearing our prototype about 6-8 weeks ago on his helmet using Smith Boogie Regulator. I almost couldn't get them back from him, he liked them.

HAhahha I've been eyeing on the Boogie for a while because I wanted a low profile eye protection. But since all I heard from Boogie's review that it's like a fogging machine then it made me think of finding a solution. So I thought of modding a fan that would work with Boogie. The idea was to inject cool air from a fan through a tiny hose into the Boogie. I was thinking of using a computer video card cooling fan since it pushes air side ways (just like the Cyclone Mike fan). It's funny that I ve seen that cyclone fan on ebay but never paid attention to it or check to see how it works lol. Not until Dice posted it.
